{ Allah Hu, Allah Hu - Only Essence IS }
Ye Zamin Zab Na Thi
Ye Jahan Jab Na Tha
When this earth was non-existence,
When this world was non-existence
Chand Suraj Na The
Asman Jab Na Tha
When neither Moon nor Sun were in existence,
When Sky also was non-existence
Raz e Haqq bhi Kisi Par Ayan Na Tha
Jab Na Tha Kuch Yaha, Tha Magar Tu hi Tu.
Secrets of Truth were not known to anyone,
Then there was nothing here, was Only You, Only You!
Pahunche Miraj me, Arsh Tak Mustafa
Jab Na Mabud O Bande me Parda Na Raha.
In the Night Ascension Mustafa* arrives the Intimate Divine Presence
When there was no veil between the Master and Servant.
Tab Malaik Ne, Hazrat Se Chup Kar Kaha
Sari Makhluq me, Haq Numa Tu hi Tu.
Then angles said secretly to Prophet,
Cosmic totality holds this truth alone: Only You, Only You!
Allah Hu, Allah Hu, Allah Hu
Divine Essence, Divine Essence, Divine Essence.
